The desalination plant, located in Tampa Bay on Florida's west coast, was ACCIONA's first large-scale international desalination plant.
ACCIONA was awarded the contract to operate and maintain the IDAM for 25 years, as well as to solve the operational problems that the facility has encountered since its start-up.
During three years of intensive work, reconstruction work was carried out to make it fully automatic, old designs were improved and processes and systems were corrected.
It has a capacity of up to 110,000 m3/d and is designed to supply at least 10% of the water consumed in the Tampa Bay region.
